Waveguide lasers in ytterbium doped tantalum pentoxide for integrated photonic circuits

This thesis investigates ytterbium doped tantalum pentoxide as a material system for realising waveguide lasers on silicon substrate, as a basis to provide the next generation of mass-producible, low-cost planar devices with many interlocking photonic circuits for multi-functionality. Numerical mode...
